THE plain, unadorned, and, in
general, barn-like architecture of old Scottish dissenting places of
worship in former days was proverbial. A stranger in Glasgow, on passing
one of these ungainly and most unclerical-looking edifices asked a boy
standing near:

Whose
factory, is this ?"

"Mr. Kinnearís," was the answer.

"And what does he make, my man?" was the next
question.

"He makes sinners into saints,
sir." was the reply; and a further conversation revealed the fact that
Mr. Kinnear was a popular and very able preacher, and that the factory was
his church!
